Abstract
This paper describes practical analytical methods based on Markov chains that allow the study of more realistic models for optical amplified communication systems while maintaining a useful level of simplicity for clarity. The methods not only yield numerical answers to particular problems but also offer insight into design tradeoffs for reliable systems.
